You will work in a residential group with about 11 - 14 multiply impaired children and adolescents. Together with a motivated team, you accompany the children outside of school hours.

You will be supported by professionals during the internship.

What you bring with you

You are interested in dealing with child- and youth-specific topics and the impairments of the target group as well as nursing tasks. You communicate appreciatively and clearly. Irregular working hours do not bother you. You have empathy and a sense of humor. In addition, you are resilient and characterized by a strong sense of responsibility and ability to work in a team.

In this varied internship, you will gain an in-depth insight into social pedagogical work and will be trained and accompanied by professionals.

You are part of a well-coordinated, professional team that supports each other and learns from one another. We exchange ideas in regular meetings. Informal occasions such as team outings or annual celebrations also have a place with us.

Our clear structures and framework conditions provide security and enable independent work. In addition, you will be carefully introduced to the specialist area and can continue your education internally.
